Hi! Does anyone have Dr. Graber?

Hi All! Just wondering if anyone has Dr. Graber from Utica for their surgeon?

Im 2 weeks post-op, just looking for people to chat with about this whole experience :)

Thanks!

 Congrats on being 2 weeks post op!

While I am not a patient of Dr. Graber, I'd still like to chat with you so feel free to post accordingly.  I usually check in once daily.

 I don't have Dr Graber either but his billboards and commercials are showing up in the Capital Region. 

Any time you want to chat, feel free to message me. 

I'm originally from Utica/Rome.  I know many people who had Graber....Where are you at?  I can put you in touch with a couple different people and/or support groups to help you out.

Hi..thanks for your reply!

I live in Johnstown, which is @ 1 hour east of Utica.....I would just like to get in touch with some of his patients to see how they are doing....and share questions/ideas.

Thanks again!

Hi! I saw your post and yes Dr. Graber was my surgeon and I was very happy with him. Execellent care and I have lost app 70lbs.

Hello, I did not have Dr. Graber but I did have Dr. Baranov in the same office.  I have to say that I liked him very much and so far I am pleased with the outcome.  I had my surgery Dec. of 2010 and I am new to this site.

Thanks for the replies!! How are you guys doing with your protein intake? I am really concerned about this, as our plan stops protein shakes after 2 weeks.

Do you have any "tricks" for getting enough protein in daily?

Thanks!

 I am meeting with Graber next week. I would love to hear about your experience and how you are doing.
